Free Box of Idahoan Potatoes

You can get a coupon good for a free box of potatoes, if you go to www.idahoan.com and click on "Print Coupon" near the top of the page. You'll need to fill out a short form and then the coupon will print. New customers get the best coupon, but even if you aren't a new customer, you will get a cents-off coupon of some type.

While you're there, check out the recipe section. They find more ways to use instant potatoes than you might surmise, including donuts and pizza. I think I'll stick with something more traditional for mine, perhaps this extra fast potato soup.

Free Burrito - with a catch

On October 31, some Chipotle restaurants offer a free burrito. However, there's a catch: you must come dressed up as a burrito. For an example, look at this photo on flickr.

If you decide that the time and cost of foil needed to do this is worth it or that it just sounds like a lot of fun, make sure to phone your local Chipotle restaurant first. Not all locations participate.
